Just wondered, can you still inflate the rear tire or do you have to dismantle the bike for that?

maybe an extension that sticks through the disc somewhere...

as it sits right now, ya have to dismantle the rear wheel assembly. i've been waiting for a friend of
mine to bring by a 1.5" diamond hole saw. (never had much luck drilling steel with the standard bi-metal hole saw)
when it arrives i'll drill a hole to access the valve.

did a little more work first thing this morning.
finished the plate. its just thin galvanized sheet metal . (brackets also) all cut with wiss 3"
long tin snips that remove the burr while you cut.
i just cut and used my table to fold em, then bent em around the bar.

short on grips, so bar clambs and string it is.

why do i have a gas pump on my deck you ask? perhaps it was for the picture,
but probably cause i don't make a habbit of turning away $40 gas pumps (if i need em or not.) :lol:

canadian tire stores here in canada have a cheap line of bicycles made for the company (super cycle)
those triple tree's are from a cheap full suspention 24" supercycle i picked up for $10 on kijiji
(used the rims for a previous build and held on to the triple tree's)

the forks themselves are just stainless tube i picked up from the local metal superstore.
